Dragon King's Harem Chapter 22. What Is A King Without Power?
I chuckled.
"I think I should take a bath before I do it," I said in a relaxed tone. I even couldn't bear my smell.
Evelina lowered her head.
"Let me clean you, Your Majesty." Her heart was beating fast and she could feel her face turning red. Not because she wanted to have sex with Argod, but because of what she saw in the Training Ground, also what she had checked with her Analyze Skill. Argod's struggle and seriousness touched her heart. Even though Argod forced himself, she knew he was serious about his duties and obligations. For her, he was a respectable, gentle and responsible man, although she could also see Argod's wild side clearly from how he fought earlier. How was he stabbing those dying Filthy Hyenas with his tail, swinging them in the mid-air and throwing them mercilessly, as if he was a heartless person.
"Very well," I said. It would be better if she was the one who touched and cleaned my body than the maids.
Evelina nodded. Her hands began to move to undress me, removing my ripped, bloody uniform. After I was naked, she waved her hand on the maids behind her who were ready with trays filled with towels and a bowl of black mud to clean my body.
Several of them tidied up my clothes, before bowing and getting out of the bathroom. While the others glanced at me shyly and their faces turned red.
Evelina unfolded the towel and cleaned my body carefully with it. Her eyes stared at my body, making sure there was no wound or anything wrong on it. And just as the maids cleaned me, she picked up a new towel when she started cleaning my lower part including my cock. But unlike the other part, she cleaned my cock more carefully and gently. Meanwhile, as before an announcement appeared before me.
[Healer tribe's essence]
[Do you want to extract it?]
[Yes] [No]
But instead of choosing yes, I decided to let her clean my body first. After finishing, Evelina smeared the black mud all over me and cleaned it with a new wet towel.
After all the mud was cleared from my body, she stood up.
"I'm finished, Your Majesty," she said as she extended her hand to me and led me to the pool.
Slowly, I stepped into the warm water and drowned myself in it.
"May I wash your hair, Your Majesty?" asked Evelina. Bathing a king and washing his hair were different things. To touch a king's head or hair, one needed his permission, it even applied to his own wife.
"You have my permission," I said. My back was leaning against the side of the pool so she could wash me easier.
Upon hearing my answer, Evelina took off her clothes and knelt behind me, dousing my hair with warm, fragrance water and pouring a clear purple liquid as a 'shampoo' without foam on my head. Her hands massaged my head and my hair gently, she also cleaned my horns.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I relaxed my muscles and mind, enjoying Evelina's massage. I needed to admit she did it better than the maids. As she was massaging me, I could feel my stamina slowly recovering. In Igixar, there were several ways to restore stamina, such as sleeping, eating, stamina potions and relaxing like this. In addition, they mixed my bathwater with the basic ingredients of stamina potion, Ocovil and Uletro mixed with other herbs. This could increase the user's stamina without any side effects like stamina potions.
"Do you like it, Your Majesty?" asked Evelina as her hand kept moving.
"Um-hm," I replied with a short mumble. What else could I say? Nothing was better other than a VVIP service like this after an overnight of training. I stretched my hand to the side and moved my index finger repeatedly, ordering a maid to give me a glass of wine.
Swiftly, a maid carried out my order and passed the wine to me. I took a sip of that purple transparent wine which was topped with sparkling silver, making it look like Igixar's evening sky. The sweetness followed up by fruity, ripe flavours filled my mouth and stimulated my appetite.
In the Crimson Flame Palace, they always served different types of wine at different times. This wine, it was the non-alcoholic type and was suitable before meals.
I finished the rest of my wine and extended my empty glass to the side as Evelina washed my hair with warm water, cleaning the rest of the 'shampoo' from my head. While a maid swiftly took the glass.
Evelina was just about to take her hand away from my head but I suddenly caught it and tilted my head to look at her.
"Mind to join me?"
She nodded.
I took off my grasp. Her feet stepped into the pool then she approached and hugged me. Her soft breasts pressed against my chest.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" she said with a shy smile.
My hand hugged her waist.
"I want to talk about something important." I waved my hand backwards, ordering the maids to leave us alone.
The maids bowed and carried out my orders.
After they came out, I continued to speak.
"Did your family say anything about the Orc King?" I knew this question killed the mood, but I had to find out about it as soon as possible. If Evelina had told her family, Uraugh would also find out that I was awake.
Evelina looked at me and smiled.
"I haven't informed my family, Your Majesty."
"Why?" I asked. I thought she sent her messages to her family yesterday since this was good news for her tribe.
She answered me by shaking her head.
"I'll tell my family later," she said calmly. If she told her family then Argod had to deal with Uraugh and Evelina knew Argod wasn't ready for that. At least, she wanted to give Argod some time to recover his power.
I fell silent and exhaled a long breath. My feelings mixed. There was annoyance in my heart since it meant she doubted my power and it disturbed my pride as a king a lot, but on the other hand, I knew she made the right decision. With this kind of situation, I wouldn't be able to face another tribe's King. Let alone the king, I could even die at the general hands or even one of their warriors. That's why I could only swallow my annoyance.
Evelina noticed it and hugged me even tighter, her head resting on my shoulder.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty," she whispered.
"I don't blame your for this ..." I said calmly, but somehow my irritation remained.
Evelina put her hand on the side of my cheek and turned my face to her. Her eyes looked at me deeply.
"I know you tried hard and I'm very happy about that," she said.
"What is a man without strength? What is a king without power? A failure," I said in a firm tone. My eyes showed the seriousness of my words clearly. Igixar was not a friendly world for the weak. Even though this world had rules and laws, the most important thing in this world was strength and power. I would simply say, if one didn't like those rules, he could break them as long as he had the power to break the rules and conquer his enemies. This was also Argod's method to help Al and Sela from their punishment.
Argod broke the witch tribe and the dwarf tribe's law to help them and take them to his kingdom. Thus whoever had the power above all other tribe kings would rule and become the highest rule in Igixar.
Evelina's hand rubbed the side of my face.
"Your Majesty ... You are not a failure ..." she said gently. Now she understood why Argod did that reckless thing last night, because he desperately wanted to restore his power. But she didn't expect Argod to be so frustrated and thought of himself as a failure.
I caught her misunderstanding and smirked.
"I think you get me wrong." I turned our positions and held both of her hands on the side of the pool. My eyes were on hers. It was clear from the look in my eyes that I wasn't someone who was frustrated or feeling like a failure.
"I never thought that I was a failure. I will rise again and become the strongest in Igixar." Then I brought my face closer to her ear.
"I think that's enough. Now, serve me." A kiss on her neck ended my words.
